Full Details for 4 Bedroom Detached for sale in Crediton, EX17 :
A spacious four bedroom family home in a quiet village setting with large gardens and far reaching rural views.
Located in the square of this pretty and popular village, a superb four bedroom family home, which has been modernised and updated by the current owners to create a wonderful and interesting family property.
The Old Post Office served as the Post Office to the local community until it was decommissioned about 25 years ago, and was turned into the home that it is today. A Victorian post box remains in use today, and is located to the front of the house.
The owners have carried out an extensive renovation program, including the fitting of uPVC double glazing, a kitchen extension, and a loft conversion. Plans were drawn up approximately ten years ago to extend the roof space further, and this could be revisited by a new owner to put their stamp on the legacy of the property. The property enjoys high ceilings and wide doorways, typical of the era to most rooms, and maintains a period feel throughout.
On the ground floor, the former post office shop now serves as a comfortable and welcoming sitting room, with a door through to a large dining room. This in turn opens into a spacious and well equipped kitchen, with high ceilings and a velux roof window. There is a further living room, which would have been the postmaster's original living room, and both a utility room and freezer room also on the ground floor.
On the first floor are three good sized bedrooms, and a family bathroom, with a further bedroom located on the second floor. Given the elevated location of the property, all bedrooms enjoy countryside views, with the rear bedroom in particular enjoying views across the surrounding countryside towards Copplestone.
Outside, the property has an attached barn (also joining the neighbouring property, and giving scope to either extend the house further, or to provide garaging. The barn has a mezzanine level for storage and widens at the rear to provide potential workshop space. The rear garden has a further outbuilding with two good sized rooms, providing plenty of storage for gardening equipment, bicycles etc. The garden is well stocked with established shrubs and flower beds, and a pathway leads through to a lawned area, bordered by mature trees, and enjoying far reaching rural views over neighbouring farmland.
This is the first time that the property has come to the market as a completed residential residence, and we wholeheartedly recommend an internal inspection to see just how much it has to offer.
